PUL-I-ALAM (Pajhwok): A number of farmers and orchard owners in central Logar province demanded traders to purchase agricultural products from them on Afghanis instead of Pakistani currency.
Haji Abdul Saboor, a farmer in the Muhammad Agha district, told Pajhwok Afghan News traders purchased onion, tomato and potato from them and fruits from orchard owners on Pakistani currency --- Kaldar ---, a trend that inflicted financial losses on farmers and orchard owners.
He said they spent Afghani to grow crops, adding that, its sale on Pakistani currency could not earn their expenses because the later depreciate in the open market.
